1t Has Resulted in the Case Going
to the Courts.
Special to the Globe.
CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Dec. S.-A Sen-
sation was caused to-day by Judge
Whittam, United States commissioner,
issuing warrant for the arrest of III.
J. Elliott, for sending matter of in
decent character through the mails.
The obnoxious circulars for which Mr..
Elliott and others are to answer were
the outcome Of the recent political con-
test in this county. For years
feud has existed between
the families of George =. Owen and Mr..
Elliott, brother-in-laW, and Carl and
Luther Owen, cousins of the former.
In the recent election George B. Owen
was the Democratic candidate for
county auditor and during the last week
of the campaign the county was flooded
with anonymous circulars concerning
him and which contributed largely to
his defeat. Mr.. Owen employed de-
tectives and after months
work they allege that they sue
ceeded in finding evidence enough to
fix the guilt on Mr.. Elliott and the two
Owens. The former is photographer
at Marion, and Carl Owen is druggist
at the same place. Luther. who it is
claimed furnished the circulars, is an
Omaha druggist, and all parties arc
highly connected. The officers could
not find Elliott tonight. The Owens
will be arrested tomorrow, and action
commenced against them for libel and
misuse of the mails. There is consider
able excitement concerning the matter.

Copyright Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Dec. S.-PreSident Cleve-
lands message has made politicians on
this side of the water rather more
thoughtful than usual concerning the
condition of England'S tariff laws. A
feeling is undoubtedly growing in En-
gland in favor of moderate duty on
imports, and popular sentiment points
in that direction. At the large fair
trade meeting which was held in st.
James hall this afternoon Howard Vim
cent. member of parliament for Shelf
field, who presided, said that the cause
of England that was uppermOst in the
minds of the people was this question of
duties. He said that England for
quarter of century had been the vic
tim of other countries owing to her per-
siStence in holding to free trade. Re
ferriug to President Cleveland's mes
sage, he said that he viewed his sag
gestions and recommendations with
alarm. Mr. Vincent stated that resO-
luton had been adopted by the free
trade party to place the food producers
of England on an equal footing with
those of other countries. Mr.. POvnter,
who moved the resolution, cOntended
that the present cheapneSs of bread was
an unmitigated curse. COmmOner Albert
NUM- supported the motion and spoke
to the same point.
THE EVIDENCE
in tile case of Doherty. who is on trial
for shooting Graham, has been given so
far chiefly by the servants of Doherty'S
house on Woburn place. They swore
that they heard a great noise and sound
as of scuffiing and also testified to the
prisoners Indifference after the shoot
ing, when Graham was dying.
RuSSia'S action of maSSing troops
along the frontier is considered by SOME

ton caused thereby being only flash

are expected to arise from it.

LIBERAL UNIONISTS.
They Hold an Important Confer.
ence at Westminster Hall.

LONDON, Dec. S.-Lord Harrington
presided at the conference in Westmin-
ster hall to-day of Liberal Unonists.
Many leaders of the party were on the
platform. Six hundred delegates were
present. The earl of Derby offered a
resolution in favor of increased eXer-
TONS to strengthen the Unionist party.
He said that the constituents. especially
those of Scotland, showed marked in
crease OF feeling in favor of the dissed-
entS. The Irish question had been so
prolonged that it is possible that the
people might say it must be settled
somehow; but they should be made TO
understand that the granting of an Irish
parliament would be no settlement, but
only the beginning of an agitation as
violent and as troublesome as the last
one.
Lord harrington, replying to vote Of
confidence, denied that the UniOnistS
had deserted Liberal principles. which.
he said, did not belong to one man or
one party. If they had agreed to Mr..
GladstOne'S home rule scheme they
would have falsified the pledges they
had made before the general election.
Lord Harrington continued: 1--WE were
told that the mode of operation in Ire
land
HAD BEEN CHANGED
owing to the sympathy of Englishmen.
But we did not see such great change.
Boycotting, intimidation, resistance at
evictiOns and nOn-payment of rents con-
tinued as before, with the open support
of portion and the liberation of all the
English home rulers. Remember Mitch.
ellstown has been flung forth to animate
the passions of the people in their
struggle against the law. Every method
of open resistance short of rebellion has
been resOrted to with the tacit consent
of Mr.. Gladstone and the Liberal
leaders. The UniOnists had satis-
factory understanding with the Con-
servatives, and would continue to act
with them" Referring to the fair trade
movement Lord Harrington said it was
not possible to speak in too strong terms
of those who spoke of returning to q
policy of protection. He hoped the Con-
servative leaders would weigh well the
consequences before they gave their
succor and support to policy which
would lead to the disruption of the
Unionist party. Those who advocated
fair trade must be responsible for the
consequences.

Freight Trains Collide.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Dec. S.-A disastrous col
lision occurred on the tracks of the
Hinckley division of the Manitoba road
and the Northern Pacific at the crossing
of the roads, just east of this city. early
this morning. A heavy freight train on
the Hinckley had passed about half its
length over the Northern Pacific track
when an east-bound freight train on the
latter road came thlHldering along,
crashing into the side of the Hinckley
train. Owing to the dense fog which
prevailed last night, Engineer q. w.
Cooper. of the Northern Pacific train,
says he was unable to discern anything
until he was right Oh to the train, which
was drawn across the track. He imme-
diately reversed his engine and, together
with the fireman, jumped and escaped
without injuries. Eight cars of the
Hinckley train and three of the North
ern Pacific were totally demolished.
The engine of the Northern Pacific
train was also badl Y damaged.

purpose of selecting time and place for

We may congratulate ourselves on
the improved prospects of the RepUbli
can party since the national committee
met in this city four years ago for the
same purpose that we are now assem-
